Bose® SoundDock® Series II digital music system

This was our third Bose sound docks itch this one replacing our original first dock purchased about 5 years ago. The sound is outstanding. For a while, you had to wiggle the iPod to get it to work with only using the remote then after a while went out completely. Bose may need to make this area a little sturdier. Still love the product and hope this one last longer.

Happiness!

I am pleased with everything! Ordering was easy and clear. Delivery was as expected and my Bose Iphone speaker was packed securely, arrived without damage. I love my speaker. The sound is nothing less than I would expect from Bose. Definitely a very pleased customer.

Bose Sound Dock Series II

The Bose Sound Dock Series II packs a nice, powerful sound from a small, easily transported system. It is easy to use and has a nice look as well. Also, ordered the unit one evening, and it was waiting for me when I got home from work the next day!! Very helpful guidance from the Crutchfield service department.

All About the Sound

The sound that comes off the Bose unit is pretty darn good. The sound is not flat and somewhat dimensional. I'm always eager to listen to my Bose, especially after listening to iPod using my earbuds. The very high tones appear a tiny bit muted, but the rest of the musical scale comes across quite well.

Great product

The price and performance for this Bose product is excellent. I was unsure about whether I should get this or the Bluetooth version and went for this one. Its obviously not intended to be portable but is still easy to move it and plug it somewhere else if necessary. All in all, excellent sound - very pleased.

Another Great Bose Product

Bose is known for amazing sound in a small package, as well as designing simplicity and ease of use into their products. The sound dock is a classic example. Simply plug it in, turn it on, and enjoy. The iPhone has replaced every other audio source in my home, and the Bose is the perfect companion for a great, portable system.

What you would expect from Bose

The product is exactly what you'd expect from Bose. Small package, well made, and great sound. It fits easily in the bathroom, on a night stand, or in the kitchen. The sound quality is great and the remote easily handles all basic functions. There's only a few minor improvements that would be nice, but certainly not enough to prevent purchasing the device: no controls on the device itself (except volume), all operations are through the remote or IPOD; the power cord contains an inline converter box that is somewhat bulky. Typically the box is on the end that plugs into the wall or internal to the device.

Pros:Small package, great sound, excellent build quality.

Cons:No controls on device except volume (remote only operation), power cord contains an inline power converter box (drops power from household voltage down to that required for Docking station). Won't run off battery power.

Bose SoundDock II

I'm not sure you can ever go wrong with a Bose. I was only a little disappointed that this couldn't be used with a battery pack for more portability but after reading other sounddock specs it doesn't sound like any battery pack would last more than 6 or 8 hours (at least on a high end sounddock). The only other thing that I didn't like was there was no volume indicator. Other than that I love listening to my music on the Bose SoundSock II.

Works for me

I bought this to use with my ipod nano in a room where I work. There was no problem setting it up or getting the nano to dock. The sound is good but I wouldn't say GREAT. I didn't expect GREAT from a small unit like this. I have noticed that some of the music I've recorded sounds better than other tunes .. that wouldn't be the Bose's fault but maybe mine or the computer's fault I've recorded the music from. Since I've never used or heard music from another brand of soundock I can't compare the sound. But for the $249, I'm very happy with the unit.

Great Sounddock

I really like this system. I am reviewing it to let potential buyers know that although I really like this unit it doesn't have the best sound. It sounds good but not great. I purchased this along with the Portable Bose battery run docking system and their remotes work with each other and I like that. I use the plugged in version for our bedroom and the portable one I use for the bathroom and taking it up to our cottage. I do recommend this system even if the sound isn't the best.

Solid

The SoundDock Series II delivers as expected. Bass is full and clear, even though the unit is small. User controls are essentially the iProduct's organic controls, with the added bonus of a remote, since it's on the dock. The actual dock is really the only drawback--it doesn't allow iPhones with rubberized cases to dock, so we must remove the bottom.

Pros:Expected Bose sound

Cons:Dock connection has a very low tolerance, which prevents some iPhones to connect due to covers.

Too Much Bass

After having two Altec Lancing Portable Players die on me after less than one year each, I decided to go with the Bose SoundDock Series II this time around. Frankly, I must say I am a little bit disappointed in the sound quality. Very little treble and too much bass with no way to adjust either. Also, the Docking portion of the player is made out of cheap plastic and I worry about it breaking off if I have to move the player from one room to the other. I would not purchase this system again...

Nice...

Received this for Christmas. Like having a mobile speaker system for my mobile ipod.
Thought it was not going to work as my ipod was in a plastic case. When I nested the
ipod into the Bose, it didn't completely connect. Of course, my daughter had to figure this
out. Regardless, the system works as expected, the sound is great and I just love the
remote control. Like this Christmas Gift!

Bose® SoundDock® Series II digital music system

What a fabulous product. Appearance and sound quality just what one would expect
from Bose. However, what a disappointment the little remote is. Limited functions and
cheaply put together. not the sort of thing to leave out in public view.

Great performance

An outstanding piece of equipment. The music is outstanding, especially when you
consider it is coming from my Ipod. A nice bonus is the ability to use it to output sound
from other sources - like my little TV, with the very little speakers.
While the price might be a little high, it is such good quality, it is worth it.

Love It!

I am so happy I finally brought this product. I was always trying to save money and would buy less expensive mps players. They would always break by the years end so this time I thought I am just going to spend the money and am I glad I did! This system is amazing, I have not "heard" my music for years now I can hear every instrument clear clean beautiful music, taking up no space, I can take it anywhere and have sound as good as any big speakers. If you are thinking about getting this, just spend the money it is totally worth it. It is easy to use, charges the ipod and sounds like music should sound.

why spend so much?

Written By rajstone, CA. on Wednesday, May 05, 2010

I bought this for my friend's bday, and this thing is so clonky and big, the sound is seriously in all honesty ALRIGHT at best...

I went ahead and returned it because he didn't like it, and got him a portable speaker for under half the price, and he loved it! the sound from that little thing is amazing, plus it's "PORTABLE", with a zip up case.

Bose® SoundDock® Series II digital music system

Bose Sound dock exceedes our expectations! Crystal clear with the Nano Ipod. Can hear throughout my 2300 sq ft house. Perfect for the pool area too! Crutchfield delivered in time for Christmas too. Very happy with product and service. Only negative would be the price...about $75 too high, but it is what Bose commands.

sounds dull

Written By sconley, Harrisonburg, VA on Monday, January 04, 2010

I expected so much more from this product. Big price for an ok sound. It sounds dull, the highs are distorted and the bass is nonexistent. The dock is also very flimsy. Putting in my ipod touch I felt like if I pushed too hard it would snap off. Also, the small white dock that came with my ipod didn't fit so I was worried about it getting bumped and messing up my connection to my ipod. Returned it today and went with what I was going to get in the first place but changed my mind in the store, the Kicker iKick 500. The Kicker is great!!! My dock fits so its nice and snug, the bass and highs are excellent!!! The sound is 100% better in every way!!! Even with the Bose on sale, still saved $124 and got a better product.

BOSE. Better Sound Through Marketing

Written By Adam, Northern Kentucky on Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Let me start off saying that I have never been totally against BOSE products. To me I don't care who makes it. If it sounds good then I'm all for it. I have had many years with top notch car audio systems home theater systems etc. Over the years I feel that I have trained my ears well for what sounds good and what doesn't. I have a pair of BOSE headphones that I use all the time and would not trade them for anything. They sound great. This BOSE sound dock has ok sound at best. BOSE has been using paper cone drivers for years and they hardly ever use tweeters in any of their speakers. I have also yet to see anything made by BOSE where they actually tell what kind of frequency response their speakers have. The battery power is cool and this unit is compact. (If it wasn't for that then I would have given it one star). I did get a Kicker ik500 after returning the BOSE sounddock. Not only is the price more than half of what the sound dock is but it sounds 20x's better. Deeper bass, higher highs, and the volume blow's away the sounddock. I wouldn't recommend any BOSE speakers, or this dock to anyone.

Great Bose Product

We purchased it and couldn't be happier using it with the iTouch. The Bose sound is great (as usual) and can be heard all through a 2000 sq ft house even at low volumes and outside too. Crutchfield as usual your support and customer service is great!

Great Bose Product Written By LandOfOz, Kansas on Friday, June 25, 2010
One year later update, we are still very happy with this BOSE product using with the iTouch. The Bose sound is great and can still be heard all through a 2000 sq ft house even at low volumes. We have no regrets. Crutchfield as usual your support and customer sevice is the greatest!!

Big sound, small package.

I bought this for my girlfriend as a birthday present. She really needed to come into the 21st century with her electronics. She loves it, so do I. I'm going to purchase one for myself.

The most impressive feature of this SoundDock is the volume. I was skeptical about the range from a small piece of equipment. But it is more than enough to fill any room. The remote works flawlessly as well. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Excellent Sound.

Written By Cord, Prairie Grove, AR on Friday, January 16, 2009

I bought this for my wife. She loves it. Excellent sound quality from such a small unit. Some of the controls/buttons on the remote are a little ambiguous. You really only need the volume, skip and on/off anyway. The dock portion is a little flimsy as mentioned in previous reviews. I'm not sure if this is by design or just poor quality. I would buy this product again regardless, as Bose sound is supreme.

Not for all iPods

Written By Mike M., El Cerrito, CA on Thursday, December 04, 2008

It doesn't work with 4th generation (20 or 40mg) iPods and Bose confirms this. It will play on the iPod's own battery power. But you can't control either the buttons on the iPod or the remote control, and, it doesn't charge the iPod. I called Bose and they said my only hope was to find an older Sounddock model before 2007.
-- Mike M.

Doesn't meet the Bose high standards

I purchased this product and returned it less than a week afterward. I needed a small device to plug in my iPhone 3G, both for charging and playing music.

Some of the pros and cons:

pros:
1. the sound quality was crisp even though the highest sound volume was lower than I expected.

cons:
1. Every time I plugged in the iPhone, the iPhone complained that this is not a supported device. It didn't seem to affect the iPhone though since it was charging and playing the music normally.
2. The device was very flimsy and very unlike my other Bose system (though my other system is 6 times the price). I still expected a sturdy and quality product. For example, the plastic base where the iphone and the speakers are mounted is shaky and basically attached using 2-3 small screws. I could have easily accidentally broken it.
3. For this price, it wasn't worth it. I'm looking at finding another device, even one that wouldn't necessarily charge the iPhone but rather use a jack-in to play the music.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The Bose SoundDock II is a
powered desktop speaker system designed for the Apple iPod digital music player and Apple iPhone. The iPod is docked
directly to the unit, allowing you to easily play your music files.

iPod Dock: The SoundDock II
features a slot in the front of the unit with the proprietary iPod dock
connector. The SoundDock II is "Made for iPod/iPhone compatible" and supports
the following iPod/iPhone model functions (as of 9/24/2014).

**Due to its size and Lightning-connector, the iPad 4/air/mini
requires the
Apple Lightning to 30-pin cable (sold separately) in order to dock
with this system.

***Even though the iPad 1/2/3 have the 30-pin connector, they are
too big to seat in the speaker's integrated dock. You will need one of
Cable Jive's 30-pin dock extender cables (sold separately) to
connect these devices.

The iPhone 6+ and all iPad models are too large to seat in the
iPod/iPhone dock station.

Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change functionality results.
If you download a newer software version, you may need to reset the head
unit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality. If this doesn't work,
you may need to wait until a newer software update is available.

Airplane Mode (for iPhone): In the event of audio
interference when you have your iPhone docked, set iPhone to Airplane Mode. You
will not be able to receive phone calls in Airplane Mode.

iPod Charger: The SoundDock II provides power to charge your
iPod/iPhone during operation. iPod/iPhone charging is suspended when the unit is
turned off.

Controls: The only controls on the
speaker system are for volume, up and down. A wireless remote control is also
included which offers basic iPod controls; volume up/down, skip
forward/backward, search forward/backward within the song, play/pause, Playlist
select and off.
The controls on the iPod also work while connected to he SoundDock II. The
SoundDock II will return to the last volume setting used when turned on.

Note: The SoundDock II volume controls
must be used because the iPod's volume control only affects the headphone
output of your iPod when docked.

Aux Input: The SoundDock II has a rear-panel 3.5mm auxiliary
input for connecting a external portable audio source other than your iPod.

Using Headphones: The SoundDock II does not feature a
headphone output. While docked to the system, the headphone output on your iPod
can be used. Since the headphone output on
the iPod is independent of the Dock connector both the SoundDock II and
headphones can be used simultaneously, with independent volume control.

Power Supply: The unit is powered
by the supplied AC adapter only. It does not operate on battery power. The
SoundDock II provides power to charge your iPod even if the speaker system is off.

Non-Slip Feet: The bottom of the
SoundDock II features six surface-gripping rubber pads to provide a stable platform
on most surfaces.
